Loop through li's

[unemployment]

I have an auto suggest drop down menu.  When I click the down arrow I want it to select the first search result in the list.  If I hit it again I want to second search result to be selected.  What is the logic behind doing something like this, or rather what is the best way to reach my result.

//set a tag name on the elements

var ElementArray = document.getElementsByTagName('YOURTAGNAME');
for(var i=0; i<ElementArray.Length; i++)
{
     //Do something
     ElementArray[i].selected /// Or W/e
}

 

you'll need to combine something like this with an onclick event and maybe check to see which element has the selection and then increase the index of elements from that element to select the next.. (depending on which direction arrow clicked)
